The Dangers of the Internet Beyond Cyberbullying
When the topic of kids and the internet arise in just about any conversation, the subject of cyberbullying is rarely far behind. It’s one of the most prominent issues children and teens are facing today. Unfortunately, it’s not the only thing parents should be concerned about when it comes to their children using the internet. Online predators, posting private information and hackers phishing for information are just a few more of the problems we have to watch out for as our kids learn how to be responsible digital citizens. Here are just a few issues adults can keep an eye out for when it...
Civil Disobedience
There is a strenuous debate over whether civil disobedience is an effective way of bringing about change or not. The general assumption is that civil disobedience effectively brings change to the society. However, it is my point of view that civil disobedience is not an effective way. To exemplify this, climate change is one of the most urgent, difficult, and side-lined issue in modern U.S. history.

Kiosks, are they really convenient?
Do you know what a kiosk is? You may not be familiar with the name, but you've probably used them a lot. A Kiosk is a touchscreen information delivery system installed in public places. And we're using it in many fast food restaurants, banks, hospitals, etc. If you check the introduction rate of kiosks in one of the top three fast-food restaurants in Korea, more than 60 percent of stores have already introduced kiosks, and the increase rate is steep. The reason why we use kiosks so much is because it is convenient, but I think we should stop using them. First, it's hard for people with...

Hello boys and girls , I am back, and first of all I wanted to apologize myself for this inactivity period.

Technology in Health Care - Curse or Blessing?
In today’s world, technology plays a major role in almost every economic and social aspect of society as well as in our daily life. A life without it has become unimaginable. Also, the health sector has become highly dependent on it, in terms of medical devices and equipment for diagnosis and therapy, process organisation and data management, for the development of pharmaceuticals etc. While the people working in the medical sector are thrilled by these developments and face the future optimistically, patients on the other hand increasingly voice fear and unease concerning the mechanisation...

Misinformation - Deadlier than the Coronavirus
There is no doubt that COVID 19 has come as a surprise to us all. People have chosen to react to it in several different ways. It is expected that by now the average person has chosen to start keeping a small stock of medical and food supplies and become very aware of the situation in their community, whilst trying to remain calm. They have also started limiting the number of journeys outside their house, and is also continuing to thoroughly wash their hands whilst avoiding to touch their face.

COVID-19: Combating social isolation through photography and community
Modern Renaissance My name is Sophia, I live in Seattle, and an avid 16-year old social media user. Of course, I was ecstatic to hear that I would have no school or homework for over a month because of the coronavirus crisis; however, it wasn’t until about two days in when I started to feel the effects of not being able to see my friends. This is why the Covid-19 Photos For Teens was created. The fact that my first year of high school was likely going to be cut short left me with a feeling of frustration and confusion. As of now, my school has not started online schooling, and I found myself...
